Cas is a talent. I'd just like to see him be more consistent at the big meets. He almosts always seems to leave it as lesser meets or too early in the season. He is now hopefully a more mature runner and will finally get an NCAA title.

I think the perception was that he would be better by now. I always look for him and hope he does well. I still think he could be great. Who knows - Duane Solomon put in year after year and finally got in huge breakthrough. I hope Cas and Jock can do that.

I vote for world titles. NCAA can be good and not, and in the middle distances the US might be stronger than it has ever been, both collegiately and internationally, at least since the advent of full world competition.

To dis a medal at World's is really a sign of something like blinders, inapt use of a posting name or of enmity/being a troll.

tough crowd. how many of us can claim anything close to his credentials? just because he's not a championship medalist every time out doesn't mean we can't be fans. or that he is worthy of your criticism.

Robert this attack on Cas is more of a attack on the Penn St. program as a whole.

They as a group drop these ridiculous times in January and frankly they have a problem of finishing. Year after year they under perform at the NCAA meet, indoor and out. They have had a couple of good individual performances and a solid relay but as a whole not so much. But the one individual that highlights the lack of post season finish by the squad is Cas.

They actually remind me of the LSU 800 runners on the mens side. They tear it up year round and then the NCAA meet came along and they are out in the rounds or if one made the final he took it out hard and faded.

I am glad they took home the 4x8 at Penn last year because for several years they came in with a bomb squad and left empty handed. Not an NCAA title but that was a big win.
